B
2.0 Poor
We never got the car we rented.
A
10.0 Wonderful
This was by far the best car rental experience I’ve ever had. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. There was pressure or efforts to upsell. And the return was extremely fast. I will use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone interested.
A
4.0 Mediocre
The staff was professional but heavy handed on the upselling despite Thrifty shorting me the car I signed up for. Thrifty “did not have” the car I rented (RAV4) and so I got stuck with a Kia. I was told they could “try to look for one but it’s unlikely there are any.” The extra-fee/skip the line/go straight to your rental app wasn’t working. The requirement to go to the desk to check in was probably for the heavy-handed upselling of additional coverage even though I already had coverage from my own insurance (I was told it would just be easier that going through my insurance). It was all deeply annoying and underwhelming.
A
2.0 Poor
As soon as I got there, they didn’t have any cars, except an upgrade for an additional 145.00$. Of course! Spend more money-so gross how these companies are able to do this time and time again.
A
4.0 Mediocre
We showed up and the company tacked on $250 worth of additional fees and insurances. We had not budgeted for that. We were quoted $230 and paid $470. It was absolutely unbelievable. Additionally, the car was mediocre at best. Will not be renting with this company again.
N
10.0 Wonderful
Customer Service and the car itself were both great. The price, especially since I was picking it up in Providence and dropping it off in Boston. It was very good. Would do that same thing again as I come up frequently.

4.0 Mediocre
Over charged
